Adjusting Depth adjustment lever (Fig. G)
It may be desirable to adjust the depth adjustment lever
may loosen in time and hit the base plate before tighten ing.
To Tighten the Lever:
1. Hold depth adjustment lever

2. Adjust the depth adjustment lever by rotating it in the
desired direction about 1/8 of a revolution.
3. Retighten nut.
Bevel Angle Adjustment (Fig. I)
The bevel angle adjustment mechanism
between 0° and 57°.
To achieve better accuracy in cutting, use the fine adjustment
markings located on the pivot bracket
1. Raise the bevel adjustment lever
2. Tilt the base plate to the desired angle by aligning the fine
bevel pointer

with the desired angle mark on the pivot

3. Lower the bevel adjustment lever to retighten.
Bevel Detent (Fig. I)
The DWE575 and DWE576 are equipped with a bevel detent
feature. As you tilt the base plate you will hear a click and feel
the base plate stop at both 22.5 and 45 degrees. If either of
these is the desired angle, retighten the lever
If you desire another angle, continue tilting the base plate until

Cut Length Indicator (Fig. J)
The markings on the side of the base plate show the length of
the slot being cut into the material at the full depth of the cut.
The markings are in increments of 5 mm.

Guide Rail System (DWE576, Fig. M)
Guide rails, available in different lengths as accessories, allow
the use of the circular saw for precise, straight clean cuts and
simultaneously protect the workpiece surface against damage.
In conjunction with additional accessories, exact angled cuts,
mitre cuts and fitting work can be completed with the guide
rail system.
Clamps
30
are available to secure the guide rail
workpiece (Fig. M). Use of these clamps
guide rail
is securely attached to the workpiece

working. Once the guide rail is set to the cut line and securely
fixed to the workpiece, there is no movement during cutting.
IMPORTanT : The height scale on the unit is set for using the
saw without a guide rail. When using the saw on the guide rail
the difference in height will be approximately 5.0 mm.
Setting the Circular Saw to the Guide Rail
(Fig. A, N)
The clearance between the circular saw and the guide rail
(Fig. N,
) must be very small to achieve best cutting results.
28
The smaller this clearance the better the straight line finish will
be on the workpiece.
The clearance can be set with the two rail adjusters
(Fig. A,
,

and for 1–45° bevel cutting
cams that allow for the reduction of clearance between the unit
and guide rail. Once these adjusters have been set, sideways
movement of the saw during cutting is kept to a minimum
while allowing a smooth cutting action.
nOTE: The adjusters are set to minimum clearance in the
factory and may need adjusting and setting before the unit is
used. Use the following instructions for setting the circular saw
to the guide rail.
REMEMBER: Set the rail adjusters on the saw to the guide rail.
1. Undo the screw inside the rail adjuster to allow for
adjustment between the saw and the guide rail.
2. Retract the lower guard and place the unit on the guide rail,
ensuring the blade is in the highest position.
3. Rotate the adjuster until saw locks on guide rail.
IMPORTanT: Make sure the saw is securely attached to the
rail by trying to push the saw forward. Ensure there is no
movement of the saw.
4. Rotate the adjuster back slightly until saw slides easily along
the rail.
5. Hold the rail adjuster in position and tighten the
screw again.
